Is the water getting the cowling where the power head is? if so I believe there is a gasket between the power head and the leg.

Re: water in motor

Give us an idea how far up the water is going. Is it getting up to the level of the carbs or is it down in the leg?

it is only getting about a half inch to an inch toward the back of the motor and splashing around.
